I feel like getting a taste of the cakes there, but what is Tay Ban Guan? That was the first time I had been to the Katong area, but I still love it there.<br /><br />Andy Young<br />TAY BAN GUAN is a coffee house with local cakes and buns and bread but in an old fashioned setting. It's called Red House too. I'm not sure if it's still standing today.<br /><br />Thanks to Hiroshi we have explored Katong central (so to speak)<br />ANDY: Pop Music Not Pills. ©https://www.blogger.com/profile/10946638825812052608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3574244939174327228.post-26359085512150214902019-04-20T10:43:14.448+08:002019-04-20T10:43:14.448+08:00Hiroshi Deguchi

I finally found it, hidden between these road diggings. They are constructing another MRT station if I am not mistaken.FACEBOOKnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3574244939174327228.post-12299617042788132572019-04-20T10:34:09.922+08:002019-04-20T10:34:09.922+08:00THANKING THE FOLLOWING WHO 'LIKE' THIS ROX...THANKING THE FOLLOWING WHO 'LIKE' THIS ROXY STORY<br /><br />STEPHEN HAN<br />ROSE KHOO<br />ANN ROWENA LIM<br />HIROSHI DEGUCHI<br />JIMMY BOEY<br />CHARLIE YAP<br />KOH SUI PANG<br />ROOP SINGH<br />KOH DAISY<br />PHILIP CHEW<br />VICTOR HO <br />JALANI MD<br />WONG KC<br />BAODI WANG<br />FREDA HANUM<br />FACEBOOKnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3574244939174327228.post-61116060991728051902019-04-20T10:26:39.110+08:002019-04-20T10:26:39.110+08:00Philip Chew

Oh, I couldn't remember that. But for the movie, ROCK AROUND THE CLOCK, the queue went around a full circle with people everywhere. Cheers.<br /><br />Philip Chew <br />It was in black and white<br /><br />Andy Young <br />Yes Philip. Thanks.<br /><br />Freda Hanum <br />Those were the golden memorial days❤️🤩<br /><br />Andy Young <br />Thanks Freda.<br /><br />Rodney Tan <br />Chng Tng stall was good too!<br /><br />Hi, Rodney <br />thanks for comment. Apologies if I answered late. I can't remember the stall. :-)<br /><br />Rodney Tan <br />Andy Young Think hard. Think very hard. We are getting old lah! I have to do that sometimes to recall old memories also. Haha<br /><br />Philip Chew <br />Those who had been to Roxy Theatre were blood donors too, hahaha. Guess what I mean?<br /><br />Hiroshi Deguchi <br />Isn't it sad the historical cinema has been replaced by that tall modern building?<br /><br />Hiroshi Deguchi <br />Ceylon road crosses East Coast Road.<br />FACEBOOK CHATSnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3574244939174327228.post-30994438452112980582019-04-15T17:48:41.977+08:002019-04-15T17:48:41.977+08:00Andy Young

If you said you've never been inside, I'd be shocked. Stories to tell? Please.<br /><br />Koh Daisy <br />And next to Roxy was Wonderland ... one of the first coffee houses. Enjoyed their Wonderland Special ice-cream ...only $1.50. After the show you can also walk down to the seafront at Marine Parade...there was no Patkway then. The beach came right up …See More<br /><br />Koh Daisy <br />Ha Andy real cheap tickets... you can buy a 50 cent ticket front row ticket ... I remember watching Palm Springs Weekend starring Troy Donahue at the Odeon. Tickets were sold out then only front row left ... 😁<br /><br />Tan Ser Kiong <br />What abt Globe Theatre GW?<br /><br />Koh Daisy<br /> and Queen's theatre and Garrick in Geylang ...not forgetting the Alhambra at Beach Road...my parents took me to see Love Me Tender ... my first encounter with Elvis 😁<br /><br />Thanks, Jim and Ser Kiong. Yes, that's another popular cinema spot at the other end of Singapore. Stories to tell?<br /><br />Stephen Han <br />Been to Roxy Cinema a couple of times, usually had a bowl of delicious laksa first. Also attended the tea dances at Palace and saw Sakura performing there.<br /><br />Jimmy Appudurai-chua <br />My best friend Omar Kwang's father was the manager of Roxy during my school days..love that cinema.. Always packed especially the morning shows<br /><br />Philip Chew <br />The Roxy laksa stall is now at Changi Road between Jalan Eunos and Lorong Sarina. It is known as Katong Laksa but not the same as those at East Coast Road. I was there for breakfast on Sunday.<br /><br />Andy Young <br />Thank you all so much for a huge load of memories you all brought today. They are staggering but delightful so I shall unload them under the Comment Page. Appreciate the treasures DAISY, SER KIONG, JIMMY, STEPHEN, and PHILIP.
